We have developed the RIKEN Ajax Browser Computing (RABC) system. This system enables the simple realization of large scale Global Computing systems,like the SETI@home project, that take advantage of unused computing resources. Its greatest advantage is that an agent program, which has been traditionally required, does not need to be installed. Volunteers can participate by simply browsing to a webpage provided by the RABC system. This system allows greater CPU cycle resources to be acquired than traditional methods. We have evaluated a performance difference between JavaScript and legacy computer languages.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
